AN AFTERNOON WITH GEORGE STILES AND ANTHONY DREWE

Sun 15 Oct 2017

Celebrated writing duo Stiles and Drewe are one of Britain’s most successful musical theatre partnerships. Their multi-award winning musical Honk! originally commissioned for The Watermill, has been seen around the world by over 6 million people in over 8000 productions. Together they have written songs for numerous hit musicals including the West End and Broadway production of Mary Poppins, Cameron Mackintosh’s new version of Half a Sixpence, Travels with My Aunt at Chichester Festival Theatre, Betty Blue Eyes and The Wind in the Willows, which transfers to the London Palladium later this year.

From their early days working at The Watermill on shows such as Warts and All and their first professionally produced musical Just So, they have developed an international reputation working with people including Sir Richard Eyre, Julian Fellowes, Julia McKenzie and Steven Spielberg.

Join us for a lively afternoon of music and laughter with two legends of the musical theatre world as they reflect on their lives and achievements as well as performing some of their favourite songs with special guest performers.

Stiles and Drewe will be joined on Sunday 15 October by singer Aled Jones. Aled rose to fame as one of the world’s most successful boy sopranos, selling over 6 million records by the time he was 16 years of age. Since then, his career has continued to flourish. His most recent album, One Voice, sat at number 1 in the Classical Chart for 14 weeks and climbed to number 3 in the Official Charts.

They will also be joined by Caroline Sheen (Crazy For You and Under Milk Wood) and Olivier Award nominated actor James Gillan.

Please note that there has been a change to the date of this performance since it was advertised in our brochure. The event will take place on Sunday 15 October.
